The
shared_yaxes
parameter to make_subplots did not previously work on secondary y-axes. It had no effect.This PR fixes this, without affecting how the parameter is applied to normal plots (without secondary y-axes). I have added a simple test to show how the new code "matches" secondary y-axes. The sharing for secondary y-axes is applied right-to-left, in the same way that the sharing for primary y-axes is applied left-to-right (I believe this results in the clearest separation of tick marks when viewing the final plot).
I believe this is a bugfix/improvement. I'm not sure if it's a new feature worthy of any documentation.
I will add some images showing a before/after comparison in comments.
